Every day we see more and more crap applications appearing on the APP store and yet two of the most obvious enhancements that would actually make a real difference to the usability of the phone remain unaddressed.

I need to divert my phone when in the car and yet there is no simple shortcut to doing so. Instead I have to go through Settings ->Phone-> Call Forwarding and toggle it on/off.

The calendar application is good but why no week view? There is screen space aplenty.

I can only assume that neither of these functions is possible due to Apple restricting access to system features.

I need an app that can search contacts by typing in either part of the contact's name or telephone # like my trusty 'ol Sammy i760 WM 6.1 did for me. I second the request for a Sirius Player App like I had in WM environment.

What I'd like to see (I've looked and a few come close), is an application that allows FTP downloads to the iPhone/iPod Touch, and also allows file access to your computer (in a similar way to Files or Air Share), but without the requirement of being on the same wifi network.

I'm out in the field sometimes, and I sometimes need to grab a file from a remote location to get on my laptop where there is no wifi network, or it's a closed system I'm not authorized to access.

My company, like many others, runs on an accounting calendar. October runs from Sep 29 to Oct 26. I would love to see an app that let me choose the first and last day of each accounting month, then keep that layout in a calandar view. A bonus would be an option to grey out the weekends and holidays.

It's not a very glamorous app idea but with the price of gas being what it is, I'd really love to see some sort of fuel log type of app on the iPhone. One that could be used to track multiple vehicles, find your location, and then search the web for the cheapest gas near you. It could provide graphs showing your milage results and probably could be expanded to track other type of automotive expenses. Don't know if the SDK allows for this but if the data could be exported it could be very valuable for fleet managers.
I'd build it myself if I had one iota of programming skills.

The GasBag app can find you cheap gas. I don't know its reliability, but it has worked great for me.
